After you have set the budget, planned the guest list, and decided where to hold the party, then it is time to choose the menu to serve at your baby shower. Consider your time and what you are prepared to commit to making. I like to make my ‘dos’ pot luck whenever possible to spread the work around. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t control what food is brought, you should. After all having six different potato salads won’t be much fun for anyone. I suggest, as hostess, you decide what the menu will be and then if you have friends who will also be coming to the shower, ask them to help you prepare specific dishes they make well or your recipes for the party.

If your guests do have any known food allergies, as a courtesy I suggest that you place ingredient cards with each dish. I usually do this anyway with such ingredients as nuts, chocolate, peanutbutter, eggs, shellfish, fish, wheat, soya. There is no sense ruining a perfectly good party with a trip to the hospital!
